That was hysterical! That morning radio show is broadcast from Birmingham, my home town, and I have been listening to Rick and Bubba for years. Rick's son Blake Burgess actually plays for Auburn, and so did Rick's Dad, Bill Burgess. Bill Burgess was also the football coach at Jacksonville State University for many years....

Rick Burgess and is wife Sheri lost their toddler son about 2 years ago....he drowned in the family pool. It was really awful. Blake Burgess talked about it in an interview not long ago. Here's the link...

Thanks for the mojo for son's team but alas, their first loss of the season - 55 to 52 at the buzzer........shouldn't have happened but it did. Son took it fairly well for his players made all of the TD's but also spoke about 2 plays that were key that could have changed the outcome. He said he had already assigned hill-runs and they hadn't even loaded up the bus yet ! Lessons learned.....onward and upward as they say. FYI, a smart-mouth opposing player literally came over to son's team's bench to slap down a player - son caught him and literally picked him up by the back of his shirt and escorted him on his tippy-toes back to his coaches. Turns out the kid broke his leg a few plays later, no illegal hit either.........some kinda karma on that one. I just don't think I've ever seen a player do that in any fball game? Have ya'll ever heard of going over to the opposing team's bench to assault a player?

PDH - ESPN did a very nice piece/interview on Cam Newton....he seems to have gained a lot of wisdom from his mistake at FL. Says a lot about his character.....we're pulling for you to win even if Clemson put one up early.

what a week!! been on vacation all week and out of pocket....got lots of phone call's thurs night....what a ballsy lady!!!then today was the icing on the cake! thought i was going to have a heart attack.....that last play was sweet! mallett for heisman!!!....we will see next week?
